On October 31, 2006, Catsouras and her parents ate lunch together at the family home in [[Ladera Ranch, California]]. Afterward, her father, Christos Catsouras, left for work while her mother, Lesli, remained at home. Around 10 minutes later, her mother saw Catsouras reversing out of the driveway in Christos's Porsche 911 Carrera, which she was not permitted to drive. Lesli called her husband, and he began driving around trying to find his daughter. While doing so, he called [[9-1-1]], apparently only minutes before the accident, and was put on hold. When he was taken off hold, the dispatcher informed him of the accident. |
